Historic Nixon Mansion up for sale after restoration project

RENO, Nev. (MyNews4.com & KRNV) -- A historic property in Reno is on the market, and News 4 got an exclusive inside look at the multi-million dollar mansion.

The historic Nixon Mansion on California Avenue is back on the market after ten years of restoration work.

Senator George Nixon died shortly after the mansion was completed, but the estate remained occupied by notable families in Reno until the end of the 1970's. That is when the mansion suffered a significant fire, destroying much of the inside.

Many of the lights throughout the mansion are the original fixtures, and you cannot miss the nine fireplaces, eight bedrooms, and nine bathrooms.

The three-story mansion sitting on just more than two acres is listed at $20.4 million.

While it has kept much of its historic look, the mansion has been modernized, from the 860-square-foot kitchen to the master bathroom. It is a blend that took years to envision and complete.

As for potential buyers, there has been a lot of interest in the property locally, as well as internationally. But there is no word on who those interested buyers might be.
